Added ROI frame rate data for the following models: Manta G-046B, G-046C, G- 145B, G-145C, G-146B, G-146C, G-201B, G-201C With the new firmware version 1.40, due to a bug all Manta models have only 12- bit in the data path (even if the ADC delivers 14 bit).
Page 11
Added frame rate diagrams New model added: Manta G-145B NIR. New sensors Sony ICX618 for Manta G-031 Added focal length 4.0 mm in the focal length vs field of view table for the Manta G-125. Added Manta G-031 Same main board for all Manta models: From serial number 503323258 on all Manta models including PoE and board level versions contain the same main board.
Page 12
Added new models: Manta G-223B, G223C, G-282B, G282C, G-283B, G283C, G- 609B, G-609C, G-917B, G-917C. These models are called Manta type B, since there are some differences to the other models that are called Manta type A (specifications, housing, data path, features).
Page 13
Changed maximum frame rates and gain range, added burst mode for G-223B, G-223B NIR, G-223C, G-419B, G-419B NIR, G-419C Added a feature of Manta type B cameras (G-223B, G-223C, G-282B, G-282C, G- 283B, G-283C, G-609B, G-609C, G-917B, G-917C): temperature monitoring Added ReverseX feature in Camera features Added...

Installation and hardware This chapter describes the components required for your vision system including configuring the host computer, Ethernet adapter settings, and connecting your Manta camera. Manta Technical Manual V2.7.0...
Installation and hardware Configuring the host computer Allied Vision GigE Vision cameras can operate on 10/100 or Gigabit speed Ethernet adapters. In order to reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed Ethernet adapter with jumbo packet support is required.
Transmit Buffers 256 bytes Default packet size The default packet size of Allied Vision GigE cameras is 8228 bytes. The host network adapter needs to support a packet size of equal or larger size to stream from the camera. Ethernet adapter For desktop systems, use a PCI Express bus Ethernet adapter.
Click OK to save the setting. Connecting your camera Use a Category 6 or higher rated Ethernet cable to connect the Manta camera to the host adapter. Crossover cabling is not required but does work. The camera has circuitry to determine if a crossover cable is being used.
Once you have installed the Vimba Viewer or third-party application to your host computer, you can connect your Allied Vision GigE camera via an Ethernet cable. If your camera is not PoE powered, connect the Hirose cable to power the camera.
Frame memory Normally, an image is captured and transported in consecutive steps. The image is taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the GigE network. Manta cameras are equipped with an image buffer. The memory operates according to the first in, first out (FIFO) principle.
Uncertainties in the measuring apparatus itself (Ulbricht sphere, optometer, etc.) The measurements for Manta G-145B NIR in figure 20: and figure 21: were done with a different method to illustrate the effect of the NIR mode. Absolute QE plots for Sony CCD/CMOS sensors Sony provides relative response curves in their sensor data sheets.

For cameras that are PoE capable, the Gigabit Ethernet interface can be used to provide power to the camera. • Manta PoE models can source power from IEEE 802.3af (1000 Mb/s) and from IEEE 802.3at compliant PSE devices (Power Sourcing Equipment) such as switches injectors or NICs.
The inputs can be connected directly to the system for voltages up to 24 VDC. An external resistor is not necessary. For customers who designed their system for Manta cameras with serial numbers prior to the above mentioned hardware change use your systems with an external resistor without any restrictions.

Camera interfaces Cycle delay The cycle delay for all Manta cameras is tpdLH < 3.5 µs and tpdHL < 30 µs. For this reason, we recommend to trigger on the rising edge. This guarantees a reaction time that is as fast as possible.
